Rocky Roads..

I had a crazy but amazing weekend. I was able to sponsor someone to go on a retreat. This retreat is like nothing you will ever go on (well unless you go on it). I have been on it, and it totally amazed me. It literally breaks you down physically and spiritually, but at the end of if it you are still physically broken down, but spiritually pumped up. I was able to see a very good friend of mine come back with the peace of God, and a whole new heart for Jesus. It has been amazing to watch..

Through this, I have been able to completely see the work of God, and this is what excites me and fan my flames. I have a passion to want to see more Christians just get on fire for Jesus. Most likely because it is what happened to me. I had amazing encounters with God in 2012. The more I received Him, the more encounters I had. The more encounters I had, the more I was just seriously pumped up for Jesus. The more I was pumped, the more friends and family I lost. The more friends and family I lost, the more I learned to rely on God, the more I learned to rely on God, the more I trusted Him, the more I trusted Him, the more He trusts me, the more He trusts me, the more He entrusts me with, the more He entrusts me with, the more I am pumped up. I still am having amazing encounters with Him just in different seasons!

I was thinking about my friends encounter with God this weekend. Before she went, she was on a rocky road, and will still have to work her way out of them, but she realized she has God with her in those rocky places. He is going to smooth out her path as long as she trusts in His guidance.

The past few weeks, I have been in some rocky places too. I'm not sure if I put myself in them, or if this is just where I landed.. I have been begging God to rescue me and I can see His hand in coming to my rescue. He has given me peace this week, which has been amazing compared to last week because I was a serious hawt mess! I have been able to focus on all the amazing things of God even throughout my trials. I am starting to feel like I am getting myself back, and I completely just keep loving God more and more. I am so excited for the rest of my 40 day journey, minus a few things I have to deal with but I know through those God knows the ending of that.. And I will trust in Him. I am so ready to really begin the work He has prepared for me. :)

p.s.. Please pray for my friend.. I pray that her encounter with God will start a whole new purpose for her. That she always remembers and relys on the love of God, and has peace through her journey! And that no one blows out her newly lit flame!
